Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
You've done real therapeutic work. You understand your patterns with a clarity that took years to build: why your nervous system braces before a difficult conversation, why certain relationships seem to confirm your oldest fears, why the same emotional weather keeps returning no matter how much you've examined it.
That understanding is not the problem. There is simply a neurobiological ceiling to what verbal processing can reach. Some people hit it - and when they do, the patterns that remain aren't stored as thoughts to be reframed. They live in the nervous system, in the body's tissues, in responses that were encoded long before language was available to organise them.
I work at that ceiling. Not because what came before was wrong - but because the next layer of work requires a different kind of access.
With over 20 years of experience and a deep specialisation in body-based trauma release, I work with self-aware individuals who are ready to move from understanding their patterns to releasing them. If that's where you are, I'd like to hear from you.

Candida Stevens - Therapist & Coach
Registered Psychotherapist, MHGI, MSc, CBT-I
Are you experiencing a loss of confidence in your personal or professional life? Trying to navigate a change and finding it bewildering? Overwhelmed by life and concerned about burnout? Struggling to sustain self-belief through a tricky patch? Or struggling to get adequate sleep?
Working with a trusted partner on identifying and talking through the issues can be relieving, liberating and invigorating. With support you can identify areas that have perhaps become stuck or neglected. Rediscover what inspires you and move forwards with a new spring in your step. Be heard and use your thinking partner to have a future focused conversation that helps you make progress.
With a specialism in burnout and its common nervous system associations, sleep difficulties, loss of confidence and ADHD, I offer a qualification in both counselling and coaching, which allows me to adjust our work together according to where you are at and what you need.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Reading sits at the heart of England's Thames Valley tech corridor — home to Oracle, Microsoft, and Huawei's UK headquarters — creating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the psychological pressures of the technology sector. The town's proximity to London and easy rail access makes it a significant commuter hub, and therapists frequently address the particular stressors of long-distance commuting and work-life separation. Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provide public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in the town center and surrounding suburbs. Reading's growing and diverse population — including large South Asian, Eastern European, and East African communities — is increasing demand for culturally aware and multilingual therapists.
